Triumph as Tafarn Y Cross passes into Community ownership
--
There’s just no stopping the team of intrepid volunteers from Hayscastle Cross who recently pulled all the stops out to raise over £200,000 in community share funding and just over £240,000 in grant funding from the UK Community Ownership Fund to buy the Cross Inn at Hayscastle Cross.
Today, the team are celebrating another huge milestone. The pub they’ve all worked so hard to save is now officially in the ownership of the community itself. The Society officially get the keys from the current owners this afternoon and they are already primed and ready to get in and give the pub a quick makeover and do everything they can to get it re-opened in just a few weeks!
Society Chairman Geraint Evans is beaming with joy “we’ve all been working so hard to make this moment possible, I just want to offer my profound thanks and gratitude on behalf of the Society to absolutely everyone who has played a part in making our dream come true. To the entire team of dedicated volunteers, our friends, families, local community residents, shareholders, numerous local businesses, the current owners Wayne and Angela, who have been brilliant hosting numerous events and to everyone for giving their time, effort and goodwill to make this all happen, diolch yn fawr, we can’t wait to see you all in the pub”.
The Rt Hon Stephen Crabb MP for Preseli Pembrokeshire said “It’s been a pleasure to work closely with the Y Cross Cas-Lai committee and local volunteers over the last few months on their bid to the UK Government's Community Ownership Fund. I am impressed with the energy and commitment they have shown in getting to this point, and I congratulate them on exchanging contracts. This is an important milestone in the project and I look forward to being there to celebrate at the opening weekend.”
